Adolygiad y Cyhoeddwr / Publisher Review

"Without a doubt, the events of September 8th 1936 ensured that Welsh politics would never be the same. This book is an opportunity for a new non-Welsh speaking generation to appreciate the exact significance of those events in the context of our past and present, and an opportunity for all readers to reassess Penyberth's influence on Wales." Y Cymro ‘This important book throws a good deal of light on one of the defining moments of Welsh politics in the 20th century. Reading it sent a cold shudder down my spine’ Western Mail ‘To understand what has happened, in ideological terms, in Wales since [Penyberth]...the growth of a great patriotic movement and the long-awaited dynamic towards self-determination, this story needs to be read’ Cambria Magazine
